But this isn’t just a voyage to deliver food and medicine. It’s a journey inspired by one Gazan girl who refused to sink under occupation and poverty—Madelene Kollab, Gaza’s youngest and only professional female fisher.

🇵🇸Catania, Sicily, Italy- The #FreedomFlotilla Coalition (#FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, #Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E.
The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo
-including baby formula, food and medical supplies confiscated.
"Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen," said Huwaida Arraf, human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla organizer.
"This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ's binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade-their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately."
